Starting a wash cycle

After having completed all of the installation steps in the preced-

ing paragraphs, turn on the water to the unit, partially open the

door of the dishwasher, and press the ON-OFF button "A" lo-

cated on the control panel. The "B" indicator light will come on.

At this point, the appliance is on and ready to be programmed.

Setting and Starting a wash Cycle

Choose the desired cycle by pressing the cycle selection button

"G". Each time it is pressed, one of the cycle indicator lights "F"

will come on in succession.

Choose the wash cycle you feel is most appropriate for the type

of dishes that need washing (consult the wash cycle table con-

tained in this manual, especially when first using the appliance).

Close the door and then the wash cycle has begun and cannot

be modified. If necessary, read the paragraph entitled, "Cancel-

ling or modifying a cycle while underway". The end of the cycle

will be signalled by six acoustic sound, and the indicator light "F"

will begin to blink.

Cancelling or modifying a cycle while underway...

Premise: A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has

only been running for a short time.

Otherwise, the detergent may have already been used, and the

appliance may have already drained the wash water. If this is the

case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled (see the paragraph

entitled, "Loading the Detergent").

To change the cycle currently underway, open the door and press

the ON-OFF button "A",follow the instructions contained in the

paragraph entitled, "Starting a wash cycle

","Setting and Start-

ing a Wash Cycle."

To set a new wash cycle, follow the instructions contained in the

paragraph entitled, "Setting and Starting a Wash Cycle."

If you forget to load some of the dishes...

The wash cycle can be interrupted by opening the door carefully

(in order to avoid being sprayed by hot water). When the door is

closed again, after 30 seconds the cycle will automatically re-

start at the point where it left off.

At the end of the wash cycle...

The end of the cycle will be indicated by a double acoustical

signal and the blinking of the "F" indicator light. Open the door,

turn off the appliance using the ON/OFF switch and turn off the

water supply to the unit. Wait a few minutes before removing the

dishes so as to avoid handling them while still hot (when they

are more susceptible to breakage) and to get better drying results.

Setting The Start Delay Time

Open the door of the dishwasher partially. If the "J" button is

pressed (see, Close-up View" Control Panel"). The start time for

the wash cycle can be delayed for 2,4 or 6 hours.

Each time the button is pressed, the "I" light will come on indicat-

ing the length of the delay.

After selecting the delay time, the wash cycle can be set, as

explained in "Starting a wash cycle..." There will be a short acous-

tic signal, and at this point the delay period will begin to count

down. During this period the delay indicator light (I) will blink. At

the end of the delay time, the indicator will stop blinking and the

cycle will start.

NOTE:

a) During the delay period, none of the settings can be modified.

If necessary, they can be cancelled by pressing cycle selector

"P" for about 5 seconds.

b) If the power to the appliance goes off or the door is opened

during the delay period, the clock will stop the countdown. It will

start again when the power has come back on, or when the door

has been closed.

Wash Cycle Adjustment Buttons

1/2 Load Button

This button (see" Close-up View-Control Panel", letter "C") makes

it possible to wash dishes using only the upper rack if there are

not enough dishes for a full load, This will allow you to save on

water and electrical energy.

It cannot be used with the heavy duty wash cycles.
